Are a union's demands for company transport to the nearest point & paid travel time legally valid under Indian labour laws?

Under Indian labour laws, these demands are not automatically legally enforceable but may be negotiated through collective bargaining. There’s no statutory mandate requiring employers to count travel time as paid working hours or to extend transport to the worker’s doorstep, unless specific contractual terms, industry practices, or government notifications apply.
